Bucculatrix paliuricola is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It was described by Kuznetzov in 1960. It is found in Turkmenistan[1] and Ukraine.[2]
The larvae feed on Paliurus spina-christi. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a short corridor, which widens into a blotch. In the corridor, the frass is deposited in a broad line. Older larvae live freely on the leaf, causing window feeding.[3]
